Demae-can Integration: Connect Japan's Leading Delivery Platform to Your Restaurant POS
Demae-can is one of Japan's most popular food delivery platforms, serving millions of customers across the country. For restaurants in Japan, managing delivery orders from multiple platforms while handling in-store orders can be chaotic. Klikit's Demae-can integration solves this problem by consolidating all your delivery orders into a single, unified system.
What is Demae-can?
Demae-can (出前館) is a food delivery service operated by Japan's Demae-can Co., Ltd., part of the Yahoo Japan Corporation. It offers delivery from thousands of restaurants across Japan, covering everything from casual dining to specialty cuisine. The platform is particularly popular for:
- Bento and set meals — Japanese comfort food delivery
- Sushi and bentos — Ready-to-eat meals for home or office
- Catering services — Large order delivery for events
- 24/7 delivery — Many restaurants offer round-the-clock service
Why Integrate Demae-can with Your POS?
Without integration, restaurant staff must manually input Demae-can orders into your POS system. This creates several problems:
Order Errors
Manual entry leads to mistakes in items, quantities, or special instructions. A customer request for "no onions" can easily be missed during busy dinner rushes.
Delayed Fulfillment
Every second counts in food delivery. Manual order entry adds 30-60 seconds per order, which compounds during peak hours.
Inventory Miscalculation
When orders aren't synced in real-time, your inventory counts become inaccurate. You might oversell menu items or waste ingredients.
Staff Stress
Juggling phone orders, in-store customers, and delivery platform tablets creates a high-stress environment that leads to burnout and turnover.
How Klikit's Demae-can Integration Works
Klikit connects directly to Demae-can's order system, automatically importing every delivery order into your POS in real-time. Here's what happens:
- Order Received — A customer places an order on Demae-can
- Automatic Sync — Klikit receives the order instantly via API
- Kitchen Display — The order appears on your KDS screen with all details
- Preparation — Kitchen staff prepare the order using the exact specifications
- Status Update — Mark as ready and Demae-can automatically notifies the driver
